Maybe the way to do it is to make Endurance Riding a proper noun. You  
know, the one and only. Then getting to the bathroom at 90, suffering  
through the brothers in law's jokes, and sitting through the 10th  
rerun of the Simpsons with the kids is just endurance. And Riding  
involves more time and effort than riding.  That's right, Bruce. The  
Walmart horse is just riding now.
